  • What’s Been Given To You Through Salvation. + Declarations To Speak Over Yourself Today | 67

    There are many gifts within the gift of salvation.

    I want to help you discover and activate all that is available to you through Jesus’ cross and resurrection.

     

    1. We get a new Father. (John 1:12-13)

    2. We get a new nature and identity change. (2 Corinthians 5:17) We undergo a radical internal change. Our old self has been crucified with Christ, and we have a brand-new self, which is created in righteousness and holiness. You have a new nature. Identity - We are created in His image. We have the spiritual DNA of God.

    3. We get a new family. We are united with Christ and joined to the body of Christ. Not only do we have union with the triune God, but we are also united with every other believer. (Romans 12:5)

     

    Here is some of what you have been given through salvation:

    A Heavenly Father who loves us unconditionally.

    Peace With God

    Union with Christ

    The mind of Christ

    The Name of Jesus

    The power of the Holy Spirit

    The gifts of the Holy Spirit

    The fruit of the Holy Spirit

    The full armor of God: The Belt of truth, Breastplate of righteousness, Shoes with the readiness of the Gospel of peace, Shield of faith, Helmet of salvation, Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.

    the better covenant made upon better promises, 

    the living Word of God, 

    the keys of the Kingdom, 

    the power of prayer, 

    the blood of Jesus, 

    and righteousness by faith.

    Inheritance

    *Declarations*

    Declare these truths to help remind you of what you have been given through salvation:

    I have been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the Kingdom of His dear Son.

    I have been born again by the incorruptible seed of God’s Word.

    I have been given all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of God and Jesus His Son.

    I am God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus.

    My spirit is alive to God and I have a new nature.

    I am strengthened with all might according to His glorious power. 

    I have the Greater One living within me and have authority over the devil. 

    The Spirit of Truth abides in me. He is my Helper, Counselor, Teacher, He shows me things to come and guides me into all truth.

    I hear God’s voice and follow Him. I trust in the Lord with all my heart and will not lean on my own understanding.  In all my ways I acknowledge Him and He directs my path. I am not wise in my own eyes.

    Jesus is made unto me wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. I am filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

  • Jesus, Salvation, Joy and Peace: Christmas’ Greatest Gifts | 66

    The announcement of the birth of Jesus is such an encouraging message of great joy, hope, love and peace. 

    I want to tie in the birth of Jesus with His resurrection, and what we have available today, in the New Covenant. Jesus is the best gift ever given. He is the Savior of the world. His name in the Hebrew, Yeshua means salvation. 

     

    Looking to find joy, peace, and salvation in Jesus? Discover the power of Jesus and how He can lift you out of whatever darkness or pain you may be facing. Learn how following Jesus can bring a newfound joy and peace into your life!

    John 3:16 promises, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." 

    When the Bible speaks of salvation as a gift from God, it emphasizes the fact that salvation is something given freely by Him rather than something we earn.  But the point of salvation is not so we won’t perish, but it’s to have eternal life.

    John 17:3 says, “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”

    God wants to have a personal, intimate relationship with you!

    From Luke 2:10-11, 2:14 we find that

    • Jesus offers us Salvation, which is a free gift that must be received.

    It is not earned.  By His grace, God has already done everything to provide salvation. Your part is simply to believe and receive.

    Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." 

     

    • What is the good news: The Gospel of Peace with God.

    The angels were praising God and rejoicing that through Jesus, there was peace between God and mankind. This peace came through the blood sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. 

    Colossians 1:20 “and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.”

    -Jesus was rejected and beaten by men and bore our punishment so that we could be reconciled to God. 

    -Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

     

    Now God can justly love us. God isn’t mad at you; all of His judgment against our sin was placed on Jesus.  

    This is the Gospel of peace. Jesus paid the punishment for sin in our place. He was the Suffering Servant who took our place. We now have a covenant of peace.   

    Jesus’ obedience to do the Father’s will and shed His blood for you, makes you worthy to receive.

    It’s called a gift of righteousness- by faith through God’s grace.

     

    **Want to receive the free gift of salvation offered by Jesus Christ? You can accept it right now.  All you must do is "confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" Romans 10:9. 

    Pray this now out loud:

    “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Savior. I believe in my heart that you are the Son of God and He raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!”

     

    The very moment you commit your life to Jesus Christ, the truth of His Word instantly comes to pass in your spirit and a new way of thriving is available. All of the benefits of salvation are for you!

     

    If you prayed that prayer and meant it from your heart, you are save. 

    Please contact me and let me know that you’ve prayed to receive Jesus as your Savior. It says that all of heaven celebrates when someone receives Jesus, and I want to celebrate with you as well.

    Understand what God has made available to you through Jesus’ obedience and finished work.

    Jesus is the Savior of the World, Prince of Peace, Immanuel....

    Salvation means more than the forgiveness of our sins so we can go to heaven! Salvation includes deliverance, protection, prosperity, peace, healing and wholeness. It sums up all of the blessings bestowed by God on those who are in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit!

     

    Jesus’ Salvation is for the whole person: spirit, soul and body. He has an entire benefits package for you in His finished work on the cross. It’s time to believe and receive all He has paid for you.

     

    Jesus is our salvation and has redeemed us. To redeem means to brings back to its original state, even if we have brought something on ourself. Redemption is both spiritual and physical. 

    Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection redeemed mankind back to God’s original plan of being in a close, personal relationship with Him.

    Key Scriptures:

    The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes. (Romans 1:16)

    Psalm 103

    Isaiah 53

  • How To Receive The Emotional Desires of Your Heart with Chris Cree | 64

    God wants to connect with us in a deep and authentic way, to reveal His love and heal our brokenness, so we can experience His freedom, joy and peace!

    Our soul needs to prosper so we can experience a thriving life. (3John 1:2)

     

    Once a month, I am a guest on my friend Chris Cree of NewCREEations Ministries show called Two For Tuesday, where he does a live teaching/discussion. This is that recording, where we discuss how we can receive the emotional desires of our heart.  

    I also recently conducted an impromptu coaching session for Chris, where he experienced God giving him some unknown emotional desires. In the coaching session, we were able to uncover some limiting beliefs and unhealthy coping strategies in order for Chris to breakthrough to a new level.

    Chris, like many had been taught if he wanted something, or enjoyed it, that's it his flesh and not of God. He was also taught to devalue his emotions. Yet the Bible talks about when we delight ourselves in God, He gives us the desires of our hearts. (Psalm 37:4)

     

    God is a heart God. We are to love Him with our whole heart, mind, soul and strength.  

    We are spirit, soul and body.

    Spiritual growth and emotional wellness go hand-in-hand.

    Emotional healing and wholeness should be a regular part of our Christian lifestyle.

  • How To Overcome Loneliness | 63

    More than ever, many people feel disconnected, isolated and lonely.  There is a difference between being alone and being lonely.

    I know what it's like to feel alone while in a marriage!

    Being alone can be described as independent, solitary, on your own, separated from other people.

    Experiencing loneliness is feeling sad or a having sense of despair from being apart from other people, abandoned, rejected, having a lack of companionship. Loneliness often results from a trauma or crisis due to the death of a loved one, a divorce, a separation, or a major life change.

  • The Importance of Loving Yourself In Order To Love Others Well | 61

    How you view yourself will impact how you view and love others.

    Too often, we can have a wrong view of who God is and we we are, which will affect how we relate to others.

     

    This impacts how we fulfill the greatest Commandment.

    In Matthew 22:37-39 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

    In John 13:34, Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”

     

    My husband, Fred Snyder and I discuss the importance of receiving God’s love and to know your identity in Christ, so you can love others well.

     

    In order to love your neighbor as yourself, you need to love yourself. You need to see yourself the way the Lord see you, through His redemption.

    Jesus came to heal the broken hearted and set people free from bondage like guilt, shame and condemnation. Jesus wants us to take His yoke upon Him and experience His Light, Life and Love.

     

    In having a deep, personal relationship with Jesus, and aligning our beliefs to Truth, we begin a process of being conformed into the image of Jesus Christ. 

     

    Spiritual maturity and emotional maturity are inseparable. We are to be self-aware, not self-condemning. The enemy is the voice of the accuser and there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)

  • How To Have a Thriving Soul | 60

    Is it well with your soul?

    Have you ever been taught HOW to process your strong emotions and experience health and wholeness?

     

    3 John 2:1  Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 

    The King James Version begins the verse with John saying ”Beloved, I wish above all things…” 

    Why Emotional Wellness Is Critical To Our Health, Relationships and Life:

    Transformation is an inside out process. Often we can focus on disciplining ourselves to look at our thoughts and renewing our mind, but often have an intellectual approach. (Romans 12:2) 

    Renewing our minds is not just memorizing Scripture, and taking our thoughts captive. We must process our emotional needs and limiting beliefs, or we can become stuck, unable to move forward into all that God has purposed for us.

     

    In this episode, my husband, Fred Snyder and I discuss the importance of a thriving soul, where we examine our emotions, become self-aware, then connect with God to experience healing and wholeness.

     

    Key Scriptures:

    Ecclesiastes 3:4 “a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,” 

    Luke 1:29-47 (Mary’s response)

    John 2:1-12 (First miracle of Jesus)

    Philippians 4:6-7

     

    I want to help you live at a higher level where your soul (mind, will emotions, imagination) thrives, so you can experience a prosperous life.

  • The Difference Between Faithfulness and Obedience | 59

    Do you struggle with obedience?

    Is it difficult surrendering to God?

     

    I invite you into a faithfulness mindset shift, instead of focusing on obedience.  Here's why:

    Faithfulness is living from the inside-out, where your heart is involved, and it’s transformative. Obedience doesn’t mean God has our heart and won’t transform us. Obedience trains us to follow God’s Word, but we can obey but not love. Often, obedience can be of performance and a punishment-based relationship vs. God’s loving kindness and faithfulness.

     

    Our greatest command is to love God with all that we are and to love others as ourself.

    God wants our heart. We are to be conformed into the image of Christ. He is called Faithful and True! (Revelation 19:11)

    Jesus said people would know that we are His disciples by our love.(John 13:35)

    Faithfulness is a fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23)

    When I surrender to Love, I will take steps of obedience and faith. Love is my motive to be faithful to God, and then practice it.

     

    In the Old Covenant obedience was crucial because it determined whether God's people received blessing or curses. (1 Samuel 15:22)

    In the New Covenant, faithfulness comes to the forefront. Hebrews 11 is known as the “Hall of Faith” not obedience.

    As New Covenant Believers of Jesus Christ, we are already blessed based upon Jesus’ obedience and performance. God has already blessed us Ephesians 1 

    2 Peter 1:2-4

     

    In this episode, I share a live discussion I had with my friend, Chris Cree of New CREEations Ministries. We discuss a Kingdom Mindset about the difference between faithfulness and obedience and why faithfulness is so important.

  • Is Social Media Stealing Your Time & Emotional Wellness with Sandy Cooper | 58

    Have you ever tracked how much time you spend on a social media platform and/or how you feel afterwards?

    Have you ever got sucked into a continual scrolling?

    Perhaps you read a post or comment that was very divisive and made you angry. Now you can’t even talk to that person.

     

    Social media like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have had a dramatic impact on our society, and many are rethinking how much time they want to spend on their devices. Especially now as we head into elections and the holiday season. 

     

    I want to help you thrive emotionally, relationally, spiritually and physically. In doing so, we need to be intentional and address anything that might have a control over us. (John 10:10, 3John1:2, Romans 12:2)

     

    In today's episode, my new friend and guest, Sandy Cooper, discuss the reasons why she needed to take a break from social media, and how she now helps others reclaim their freedom and life by reducing the amount of time on various platforms.

     

    Sandy is the podcast host of The Balanced MomCast, a blogger at thescooponbalance.com and author. Today she discusses how after many years of building a successful business on social media platforms, she one day realized how controlled she was by her phone, and her mental and emotional health were negatively impacted. 

    Sandy helps other overwhelmed moms and entrepreneurs take short and longer breaks from social media to reclaim their time and life. 

    Social media is intentionally designed to be like a drug, to get you hooked by giving your brain a dopamine fix. While we might think we are connected to more people around the world, research is showing that people feel more disconnected, isolated, anxious and depressed. 

     

    Beginning November 1st, she is offering a 7-Day Challenge to help moms break the addictive cycle of social media, reassess their relationship with it, and reclaim the time they lose to these platforms. 

    • Invest your time into meaningful, life-giving, and eternally relevant activities
  • Rediscover a full and free life away from social media
  • Take control of your mental and emotional health
  • Feel focused and calm 
  • Guard your heart against unfiltered and algorithm-driven content 
  • Get all of the details and take a quiz to see how much of your life has been impacted here: https://thescooponbalance.com
